I WILL NO LONGER BE RESPONDING TO PM'S REGARDING BANS.
If you can't be bothered to read the stickies, that's your problem D:
heart HOUSEKEEPING heart
Our lovely Guild, now 2000+ members, is rapidly spiraling out of control. Spam and inactivity are rampant. In light of the recent condition of the Guild, I have decided to initiate HOUSEKEEPING: 2005! This process, or rather, series of processes will be a serious atempt to clean up the spam and to "cut the fat" as they say.
Little Billy
What is Spam, and how do we go about "cutting the fat"?
Well, Billy, it's really quite simple. We will define spam as follows:
arrow Off-topic threads, or posts wich are off-topic.
arrow Repeat Threads.
arrow Single word posts, or incoherent babble.
arrow Posts with extremely poor grammer.
Little Billy
Poor grammer? Golly, Equanimity! How can I tell if I have extremely poor grammer?
Well, Billy; we typicially go from case to case. A good rule of thumb is to consider this: Imagine for a moment that you have never used the internet before.
Little Billy
Gee, Equanimity! That's an awefull thing to imagine!
I know Billy, I know. But let's just pretend for a moment. I log onto Gaia with my new account, and even get accepted into the Best Naruto Guild on the internet!
Now, I go to a thread to participate in a lively debate in which people are considering who would win in a fight: Jiraya or Orochimaru.
Little Billy
Well heck! Everyone knows that would be Orochimaru-sama
I know, Billy. I know. But all of a sudden I see something like this:
NAREUTOWUVER666420
OMFG JIRYAY WUD TOTALY WIN BE CUZ HE KAN SUYMON BIIIIIIIIG FROGZ LOLLOLOLOL
LOLOLOLOLOL
OMFG IM SO HI RITE NOE!!!!111
Now, Billy, notice the complete lack of punctuation, and use of "z" instead of "s". This is a typical example of extremely poor grammer.
exclaim Another process in HOUSEKEEPING: 2005 is the banning of inactive members.
I will be deleting people who have 0 posts, or anything less than 50gold donated.
And before the mundane bitching begins; 50gold is not a lot. You can make it easily in less than half an hour by mindlessly clicking around Gaia. This gold will also be put to use buying prizes, etc for the guild. For information purposes, all gold donated goes to Repreive to distrubute as she sees fit.
The Housekeeping process will begin on JULY 1st, 2005. Thank you for your time, and let's keep working togeather to keep this the best Guild on Gaia!
